Key fob doesnt lock/unlock doors?
#11
I am facing the same issue too.
Mine is a remote with key for 2007 outlander. It's the only key I have.
It starts car but the buttons don't work at all.
Is reprogramming the only solution and it can only be done at a dealer?

Same issues... Dealer reprogrammed my keys in April, and they've both stopped working although one just sat in my desk doing nothing.
Not paying these thieves to reprogram it again not even 6 months later.
Anyone find a way to reprogram the keys??

Worked for me!
Thanks for the info guys. This actually worked for me. Also I was able to get this to work on 1 key ( I've misplaced 2nd key) I registered on here just to post my results and how I did it exactly and help out anyone else on the internet that's having the same issue as me. Maybe I can help.
First I have a 2009 Mitsubishi Lancer.
I current have this style of remote to give you a visual.

It's the 3 button light standard key (metal key that insert in car)
Same issue that you guys had. Key worked. Buttons light up but don't unlock/lock car when I press them.
As I said I was able to get this to work on 1 key ( I've misplaced 2nd key)
The directions a user posted straight from the manual I followed on this tread. Nothing different however the directions are a little confusing. As long as the keyword lights up when you press the button this should work.
Step 1: Press and hold the unlock button for 6 seconds.
Step 2: With other hand press and hold the lock button for 5 seconds.
Step 3: Release in order from start. Release finger unlock then immediately after release finger from lock.
(These first 3 steps open the programming.)
Step 4: With the same remote in hand press and hold unlock and lock button at same time for 2 seconds.
Step 5: Then release both at same time after 2 seconds.
Step 6: Press the unlock button after 1 second.That's it! Your car should respond by unlocking. Test it out. All my buttons worked including truck release.
For maybe a whole damn year I've suffered using my key to open everything manually. Sucked ***! I finally checked online and this this site. Hopefully my instructions will help.

hey guys. I own a 2013 lancer ES. My remote key fob stopped working because the battery ran out. I replaced the battery and it doesn`t lock and unlock the doors anymore. The fob because its lights come on and a locksmith checked that and it`s definitely working. I checked the WEB and youtube for reprogramming but all the tutorials were for 05-12 models. I also did the manual instructions but nothing happened. The dealership told me they charge me 220 dollars for that. I only have one fob, it is the only i got from the previous owner. Would you plz help me? thanks

Video Instructions
I've made a video detailing the process and hope it helps everyone.
Thank you nonstop99 for getting me on the correct path; however, your step 3 is backwards. You must release the lock button, THEN the unlock button to enter programming mode for adding remotes.
The way you've written the instructions are for entering the programming mode to change how the blinkers operate when you lock/unlock the car. After reading through my own manual I spotted the error and was then able to successfully add a new remote to my car.

Some things to note:
- Programming a key is a two part process. (key and remote)
- You can only program a remote that is programmed to start the car
- You CAN program a remote with only one key
- You CANNOT program a new key with only one key
- I have a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS
- I was able to program a third OEM key using my OEM key and a third-party hardware-store programmed key (no remote) that cost me $60.
